Believing in the Qadr/divine destiny of Allah is a pillar of Iman.
Allah says: No calamity can befall a person except by the permission of Allah. Nothing can happen to you with the permission of Allah.
Prophet alayhissalaam says: When any calamity, hardship, sadness or grief befall the believers, Allah wipes out their sins.
We should try to have the patience of Prophet Ayyub alayhissalaam - sabr-e-Ayyub, i.e. accept the calamity believing that it's from Allah. During calamities, most of are not accepting them. Some of us that do accept them outwardly, many of them aren't happy internally. These are tests. Allah says, give glad tidings to those that are patient.
Imam: If you are satisified with what Allah gives you, you'd be the wealthiest of all people.
Question: Could you conclude that the calamities that befall you are due to the wrong way of life that you are living?
Answer: Could be, but if Allah ta'ala deals with us all like this, we'd be in big trouble, all of us are involved in sins. Though there are ayas and ahadith that mentions that sins prevent rizq. For example: because of your sins, Allah may stop you from reaching the masjid and joining the salah until after the Takbeer-e-Tahreema (when Imam starts the salah by saying Allahu Akbar) has been done. You just lost so much ajar/reward just by missing the Takbeer-e-Tahreema.
Prophet alayhissalam said: I want to live like a prophet; I don't want to be a king or such type of leaders. If I am hungry, I will ask Allah. If I am satisfied and I have food, I will be grateful to Allah.
You have will and Allah has will, but Allah's will is above your will. You can't blame Allah that since he has written in the Lawh Al‑Mahfooz, so and so will be in hellfire. No. Allah knows through his knowledge who's gonna end up where, but he gave everyone free will to choose either the right path or the wrong one. So, choose wisely.
